We know at home that she's got tons of ability but it's just taken a little while to get it out of her,. Watching her at home she has a serious engine. I have to thank Derek Veitch (owner of Ringfort Stud) for having patience with me. Hopefully now she'll come forward from that. Robbie said she just loved how the whole race panned out. He said she liked being held and taken back during the race, then she put her head down and galloped to the line which was brilliant. She's a home-bred, one part of me doesn't want her getting too high a mark but for the breeder it might be better. She wouldn't getting a big rise for that though. I'll talk to Derek and look at the program for her now. Ms Sheila Lavery, trainer

W.J. Lee, rider of Chummie trained by T.M. Walsh, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount ran keen early on

The Stewards enquired into possible interference in the closing stages of this race involving Styledome, ridden by R.C. Colgan, placed first and Froral Purl, ridden by L.F. Roche, placed fourth, where it appeared that interference may have occurred. Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards were satisfied that Styledome had not improved its position in relation to Floral Purl and they therfore made no alteration to the Judges placings and took no further action other than to advise R. C. Colgan to ride with more care in the future

The Stewards enquired into the apparent improvement in form of Styledome, trained by Ms. Sheila Lavery, placed first, compared with its most recent run. Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned who stated that her charge had been running too keenly when ridden prominently and that a change of tactics today had allowed her charge to get cover and settle better, and this coupled with a step up to a mile had helped to bring about the apparent improvement in form. Evidence was also heard from Mr. Gary O'Gorman, Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board Senior Handicapper, who stated that todays run was a big improvement on it's previous run at Dundalk on the sixteenth of October and it was backed from 12/1 into 13/2 today. Having considered the evidence the Stewards noted the explanation given.
